I'm a lesbian in that I am in a female body and I love and am attracted to others who also have female bodies.

I'm also genderqueer and have often been attracted to others who have some level of genderqueerness or gender variance, but I've decided that doesn't negate my being a lesbian. I've also loved and been attracted to women with not an ounce of genderqueerness or gender variance.

Who knew?

Leaping Lesbian Lizards!

Officially named Cnemidophorus uniparens, these American desert lizards reproduce despite the fact that they’re all female. Interestingly, some of them simulate sexual acts (above, left) with each other just like male and female lizards, and it’s been discovered that when they do they reproduce more successfully than their abstemious sisters.

Where as I don't dance...leap...or do cartwheels...I have been known to try to chase down a squirrel or two...and I'm a GAY WOMYN...does that make me a squirrel-chasing lesbian?*shrugs*smh...you are what you are...

Women's Music was so defining for us. We had a local college radio show that, every Sunday, played all the great music and had guests like Meg, Alix Dobkin, and Ferron when she came to town. I played Cris Williamson over and over again--"Sweet Woman" made me swoon every time. When I came out, the first thing I did (and I mean this literally), was find "Changer and the Changed" on CD (much of the old music is at cdbaby.com). We had one of those small, dark bars with a jukebox and nothing much to eat. Just lots of smoke and steamy dancing. Again, defining. I never got to Michigan, but I remember a drive back and forth to a music festival in MA, with lots of stages, many outhouses, and hardly anyone with a shirt on. One important memory, when I was coming out again, was how one woman in particular made me feel any time I was within view of her. She was a big, beautiful butch and in her presence, I could barely breathe. I didn't know what that was.... Now, with life and experience behind me, I can recognize this as the first time I really felt true attraction and desire.

:LGBTQFlag: Waving raising hand .... just a plain ol lebso here :)

I am a femme lesbian, and happy to have figured that out at looooooong last.

when I reawakened from a long time of cave dwelling, the GLB community/ies had expanded. rather than resist the movements that I felt were growing around me, I reconsidered my own IDs, always in light of an assumed position of lesbianism (for myself). I am, and will always be, a feminist. no matter if I ID as male, butch, queer, etc. In light of this, then, I allow myself the multiplicity of my being, no matter how it changes, evolves, returns. I am a feminist, first and foremost. My understanding of this word allows my consideration/s, and acts, of fluidity.

Yes! yes! yes!
I am still a leaping lesbian...Smiles

Actually I just wanted to bump this thread
So those who haven't seen it will be able to...lol

She has always been one of my favorites. I once studied under one of her deciples (Alison Zier) and this remains one of the brightest highlights of my life. This makes total sense to me. Thanks for the link.

Here to be counted. I am a lesbian.
However, I prefer to crawl on in instead of leaping at the moment.

I'm new here, but I AM a lesbian.
I refuse to leap though! :shocking:

Welcome aboard Tracker! I don't think leaping is a requirement... some of us stroll, skip, saunter and swagger!


It's not how you get here.. it's that you did!

Enjoy the site!

Jess and christie

non leaping
 

I'm a non-leaping lesbian. Me leaping would not be a pretty site.
New here, so how about I just peek around the corner and see who is here! (well, maybe not, that would just make me a peeking lesbian)

Welcome - from one non-leaping lesbian to another! Don't get me started on peeking... I will NEVER start the day's to-do list!

I know this was already posted... but I just had to repost...it's in my head now!
 

Please note Daddy Max's album cover in this video!!



I have been deep in nostalgia lately!

Hmm, considering what would happen if I were to actually leap??
but definitely les :)

*waves to all*

LOL! I LOVE IT

*Smiling* Still, 18 years later, out and proud lesbian :) (and I'm not afraid to leap either!! Just as long as everyone moves safely out of the way first!) ;)

I was wondering where all the lesbians were. Wish there were a few more. And, I'm not sure where they all went. There used to be lots of 'em. :|

And, yep, I came out as a lesbian at 19 still proud to be a big ole butch one. :)

I just wanted to remember one of the Leaping Lesbians who began in 1945 writing and serving for the lgbtq community. She wrote the very first lesbian magazine ( even before " The Ladder" ) call " Vice Versa"...She also helped in writing The Ladder.

The link below show this as well as more info of what she has done.

Black Lesbians Matter

“Black Lesbian Matters,” report is a quantitative study on the Black lesbian community. The creation of this report was a year long process of developing the survey, conducting focus groups, and finally writing the report. This report, “Black Lesbians Matter,” is an examination of the unique experiences, perspectives, and priorities for the Black Lesbian Community, and has been our most rewarding accomplishment as of yet. The report focuses on five key priorities: Aging, Health, Identity, Family, and Invisibility. We thank all the contributors and funders that made this study come to life.

Francine Ramsey, Executive Director of Zuna Institute says, "This report is the result of year long process, and will lay the foundation for constructive dialog and the creation of an effective collection of strategies that will address the needs of the Black Lesbian community."

Report Published in July 2010

Butch lesbian:aslpeacelove:

I have been an Out Lesbian for 27 years....though I enjoy the term Dyke more than "Lesbian".

I have, however, never been into most "Women's" music...and my knees preclude leaping today...and most days.

I'm still here and as Lesbian as ever!

Not feeling it too much culturally these days either. Not sure why. Maybe cause i can't leap anymore either. ;)

But, of course, i am a big ole lesbo.

Went to see Tret Fure last weekend. We have a pretty active folk scene around here, so we see woman like Holly Near and Cris Williamson every year or so. It's a treat. Last week's performance brought out about 100 women, mostly over 50, but some younger, which was nice. It was a really good show, but I could feel how tired she was. I, for one, love being out among "the lesbians." I feel like I'm at home with my people. Corny as that sounds. :)

Big ole GRATEFUL lesbian here. I had a serious accident last month and my communities of mostly lesbian, mostly biker friends rallied to support me in ways that made my head spin. When they ask me what I need I keep saying that all my needs have been met before I know I have them.

This is the lesbian community at it's best. Just like we imagined it. No, this isn't the narcotics talking. I may have been premature, but I already stopped taking them. Lesbians rock.

Big ole is pushing it, talking about you! Wishing you the very best! What a great testimonial!

I love my lesbians.

Me too, but this leaping thing has gotten me into trouble :confused:
